Virtual Server Design & Implementation
As businesses grow, so does IT computing capacity - often in the form of new servers with disparate operating environments. The resulting server sprawl is costly in terms of resources needed to operate, manage, and upgrade new servers.
Server consolidation with virtual server software provides a solution for these challenges with the following benefits:
- Lower hardware acquisition and maintenance costs
- Consolidation of idle system resources
- Increased operational efficiency
- Cost-effective and consistent production environments
Applications which usually benefit from virtualisation are represented by file and print server, directory infrastructure, web servers, firewalls, NAT/ DHCP servers and so on.
Although most of these servers are only utilised by 10-15%, architectural, security, and compatibility issues lead to recommendations in running these systems on separate hardware.
Managing, patching, and securing these servers consumes valuable IT time. In addition, proliferation of physical servers drives operational costs for facilities, power, and cooling.
Due to the low server utilisation and the combination of low CPU and medium I/O requirements, IT Infrastructure servers are prime candidates for virtualisation and associated consolidation.
